My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 239

The doctor was wide-eyed. "Are you sure? Of all the doctors in San Joto, only those from this hospital can achieve this success rate. If you recklessly transfer the patient to another hospital, he likely won't be able to open his eyes again."

Stanley, who always had a gentle expression, looked frigid now, as he felt Nicole could not be more right— the quality of medical care here was outrageously awful. He smiled politely and insisted on getting his grandfather discharged.

The doctor looked at him with mouth agape. "Be rational. What makes you so unhappy about the hospital that you want to transfer the patient to another hospital? Don't forget that this is the best hospital in San Joto." The doctor's voice contained a sense of superiority. So instead of dissuading Stanley, it pissed him off.

'Maybe this is the best hospital to treat bruises,' Stanley thought expressionlessly.

Seeing that Stanley insisted, the doctor reluctantly refunded a large amount of paid money. She glanced at these people, whom she saw as knowing nothing, and then went aside to make a phone call.

Mr. Riddle Sr. was finally going to be transferred to another hospital. Daniel and Gloria were nervous.

Nicole looked calm. She went to a corner to make a video call. A gentle- and elegant-looking Esperian man appeared on the screen. He was about fifty and looked very gentlemanly in a white coat.

Seeing that Nicole finally called him, the man broke into a bright smile. "You are finally willing to call me."

Nicole did not have time to reminisce with him. "I want to take the patient to your lab in San Joto in ten minutes," she said rapidly.

The man's face turned serious. As he nodded and before ending the call, he did not forget to mime an okay with his hand to Nicole.

Dillon watched with cold eyes as Nicole came back. "If something happens to your grandfather because of the hospital transfer, you will have to take full responsibility for it," he said with a sneer.

But Nicole ignored him and went straight into the ward to check on Mr. Riddle Sr.'s condition to make sure that the move would not cause any harm to him. Only then did she come out and give Daniel and others a reassuring look. She then sat down and checked her watch nonchalantly. One minute had passed. And then two. As the minute hand pointed at six, she heard some kind of extremely noisy sound. She broke into a faint smile and said, "Here it comes."

Samuel looked at Nicole in confusion, not knowing what she was talking about. Meanwhile, Dillon looked at Nicole with disdain, thinking that she was trying to

gaslight them.

Damien was looking at the other end of the hallway curiously, while Daniel and Gloria also looked in the same direction. As they heard wheels rolling, they could vaguely see the faces of the people who came.

Everyone, including Dillon, who taunted Nicole earlier, was wide-eyed as a group of people dressed in special forces uniforms strode over. They were pushing a special stretcher and hurried toward them. Following behind them was a doctor dressed in a white robe.

Everyone looked on with their mouths agape.

They thought the Riddle family did not have any military or political background. So how could it mobilize such elite special forces?

Nicole squinted and recognized at once that the special forces had the First Army insignia on their flanks.
